At Iowa State University, we have had good experience with the Tennelec
automatic gas flow proportional counters.  Our particular model also has an
optional sodium iodide (NaI) scintillator with gamma spectrum capabilities. 
Contact me at the telephone/E-mail below or call Tennelec at (800) 255-1978
for more information.
